Nigerian Passport Renewal 10 Years Fee

The domestic fee change took effect from 1 September 2025. Fees can still be affected by local mission service charges, exchange rates, courier choices, and payment processing rules.

Requirements can vary by mission, but most adult renewal applications need the following documents before biometric capture:

• Current or expired Nigerian passport booklet.
• National Identification Number (NIN).
• Completed NIS online passport application and payment receipt.
• Appointment confirmation or application reference slip.
• Proof of legal residence if applying outside Nigeria.
• Marriage certificate, affidavit, newspaper publication, or court documents if changing name or correcting details.
• Police report and additional forms if the old passport is lost or stolen.

NIS passport applications still require biometric capture. Even when the form and payment are completed online, expect to attend an appointment unless your location is covered by a contactless renewal scheme and the official portal confirms that you are eligible.

1. Confirm eligibility. The 10-year booklet is an adult passport option. Children normally receive shorter validity documents.
2. Start on the official NIS passport portal. Complete the application, select the 64-page 10-year booklet where available, and choose your capture location.
3. Pay through the official channel. Keep the receipt, reference number, and appointment slip.
4. Prepare supporting documents. Bring the old passport, NIN details, residence proof, and any documents for name or data changes.
5. Attend biometric capture. Your fingerprints, photo, and signature are captured at the selected passport office or mission.
6. Track and collect. Use the NIS tracking tools or embassy instructions. Some missions require collection in person; others use courier return.

• Mixing domestic and diaspora fees: ₦200,000 applies to applications made in Nigeria, while $230 is the NIS diaspora fee for the 10-year booklet.
• Ignoring local mission charges: An embassy may require postage, appointment, bank draft, or processing charges in addition to the portal fee.
• Using old fee pages: Some older embassy pages still show outdated figures. Check the NIS portal and the specific mission page before payment.
• Choosing the wrong booklet: If you need the 10-year passport, select the 64-page adult option. The 32-page booklet is normally a 5-year passport.
• Paying unofficial agents: Use official portals and mission instructions. Third-party promises of faster processing can lead to lost money or invalid applications.
